    Unintentional acceleration is surely the culprit here.

    One a more serious side, if you have not driving a huge vehicle like a F-250, it will give you a new appreciation of driving a moderately-sized vehicle like a Prius.

    Looks like the jerkoff that tried to pass me in a no-passing zone.

    I've seen similar, at the head of a flight of stairs, in Vancouver's airport. To be fair, in particular at night, stuff happens. Maybe thought it was a laneway?

    The drop there looks to be enough to warrant a handrail. As-is, it's irresponsible design.

    That car was backing up, it only stopped because the stability control stopped the car when the rear wheels lost traction ~
    It was rubbing against the ML350bluetech on the way by, ah, the wonders of nature.

    This angle just makes changing the oil and filter that much easier!

    One big blind spot with any car is the terrain. Parking lots have lots of raised mediums, drops. It could have been night time too.
